Toxicity in Rainbow Six Siege isn’t a new thing, and Ubisoft has been trying to counter it for a long time now.
Back in Ember Rise, Ubisoft added more reporting categories to get more accurate feedback from the users. However, it raised some confusion in the community, as there weren’t any clear explanations of what these options did.
But now with this Y5S2.2 patch, the devs will be trying to address this problem by adding more information to this reporting panel.
Updated Player Reporting Panel
The Reporting Panel is getting an upgrade! Building upon the last addition of more reporting categories to improve the granularity of in-game reports, we’ve added a new player-reporting panel. This new panel will provide you with more information on each type of reporting category so you can make an informed decision about which report type best fits the situation. More accurate reports from you and other players, means we can make sure we’re handing out the appropriate sanctions to players that deserve it.
Access the Report options via the Player Profile Panel. Each report type has a description to help you choose the most appropriate report type. Once the report is made, you’ll receive a confirmation message that we received the report. Players can only be reported once per match per player.
So now the added description will help players select the appropriate reporting option, and it also includes the sanctions the reported player might face. Although it is a small update, it’s a necessary one, which should have been included from the introduction of the new reporting categories.
The Y5S2.2 update also includes many bug fixes. The patch will be deployed to PC on July 14th at 9:30 EDT, and for console the 2.2 patch will be bundled alongside the 2.3 release.
